Some have admitted to throwing their dog's waste into a stranger's bin just to avoid carrying it for too long. While there's no specific law against using someone else's bin, it could potentially be seen as fly tipping, since the waste isn't being taken home or disposed of in an approved location. And one furious homeowner left a strongly-worded note to dog walkers considering using their wheelie bin to deposit poo bags. The tenant was clearly riled by pet waste being dropped into the bin as it sat outside their home, reports The Mirror . Read More Related Articles

Friends invited my long-term partner to wedding but not me - I'm furious' The person duct-taped a piece of cardboard to the top of the red-lidded receptacle, with an aggressive note which read: "I will find out who you are throwing your dog s*** in my rubbish. Shame on you. Take it to your home. Rude b****." Pictures of the note were shared on popular online forum Reddit , where users got into a heated debate about the message and the need for it. Some argued that due to the lack of public bins, using a private wheelie bin is better than leaving the waste on the pavement or bagging it up to throw in a hedge. The dog owner who shared the snaps wrote: "A huge argument has kicked off in my town's
Facebook group regarding putting dog poo bags in someone else's wheelie bin. Personally I don't mind when people put their dog poo bags in my wheelie bin, especially if it's out on the pavement ready for collection." One homeowner was not impressed at ther wheelie bin being used for dog waste (Image: Reddit) "I'd much rather it be in my bin than having dog poo all over the pavements. What are your opinions regarding wheelie bin dog poo drop offs?" However, some others disagreed - with varying degrees of sympathy. One person said: "My opinion is don't do it. Bag it, take it home or use a public bin. Nine times out of 10 it's fine in someone else's bin, but that one time means you've put it in the 'wrong' bin and they won't be able to have their bins emptied. "Other people's wheelie bins are theirs, and importantly their responsibility, they're not there for your convenience. I don't personally ever use them as general public waste bins and certainly wouldn't for 'offensive' litter like dog poo."

I went to get my recycling bin yesterday and someone had put a bag of poo in it. Not only is that going to stink, but it messes up the recycling and if the binmen see it they'll refuse to take the bin." The
UK Government defines fly-tipping as "the illegal disposal of household, industrial, commercial or other 'controlled' waste." A government statement adds: "The waste can be liquid or solid; controlled waste includes garden refuse and larger domestic items such as fridges and mattresses. Fly-tipping is not the same as littering. Littering is commonly assumed to include materials, often associated with smoking, eating and drinking." Join the Daily Record
